08/03/2011
. (Gibson) KISS fans will soon have their pick of memoirs from the band's original members. Guitarist Ace Frehley's No Regrets will hit stores on November 1, drummer Peter Criss has a book planned for 2012 and bassist-singer Gene Simmons and singer-guitarist Paul Stanley are working on a chronicle of the band's early years, according to BraveWords.com.

Simmons and Stanley are collaborating with journalist Ken Sharp on Nothin' to Lose, a book that tracks KISS's early history from its start in 1973 through to 1975's live album, Alive! The book also will include interviews with Criss and Frehley, as well as other rock stars from the era. Nothin' to Lose is set to come out via IT Books next summer.

IT Books Editor Denise Oswald spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the book: "It's also an amazing depiction of New York in the early '70s � it's Manhattan, it's Queens, you have members of The Ramones , members of Blue �yster Cult, touring with and playing with KISS. You really get this incredible portrait of a time." more on this story
